[ Garrot is overjoyed that Olivia is rolling with his nonsense, and even upping the ante! Once her tongue sticks out, he claps his hands together and lets out a high-pitched, excited little gasp. ]

That's so cool! You're so cool! [ And then he laughs for a second, completely moving past the part where they talked about eating his kids. Totally normal fake-topic in his day-to-day, honestly. ]

Okay, uhh... [ He brings a hand to his chin and looks to the ceiling, trying to choose his words well. ] Some kids get a bad hand in life, and it turns out I can help some of them. [ He gives a half-hearted smile at that. He's trying to sound confident, but the Wizard can absolutely fuck up families. ]

At first I just wanted to foster kids until stuff got sorted out for them, [ Like family members who could adopt them. But then he shrugs at the pause, smiling warmly amd contently. ] but then the oldest stole my heart. I got a reputation for being good with some uncommon issues, and the system started seeking me out as, like, an expert. [ Garrot is visibly trying to be chill and nonchalant about all this, because he has no chill when it comes to his kids. ] Now I have four of the little rascals! [ And he's back to grinning excitedly. ]
